PITTsBURG, August 5.-The first six
innings of the Washington-P Pittsburg
game to-day at Recreation Park were
exceedingly interesting. The twirlers
for either side seemed invincible, and
although the ball was hit, it seemed
impossible to place it safely. Dalrym-
pie became faint in the sixth inning
and retired and Fields took his place.
Carroll, of Pittsburg, played in very
poor form and made several wild
throws. Score, Pittsburg, L; WASH

CHICAGO VS.. NEW YORK.
CHICAGO, August 5.--Chicago won
the game with the New Works to-day,
after all hope seemed gone. For five
innings the score was blank and then
New York made three runs by virtue
of four hits and Ryan's error. This
seemed TO settle things, but in the
seventh Connor's error gave a man a
base and a single, double and triple
fixed three runs. This tied the score,
and in the eigth, Chicago managed
to get base on balls, Ryan was hit
with pitched ball and a two bagger
was made, followed by home run.
This made four runs and settled the
game. Score, Chicago Z; New York

BOSTON VS.. DETROIT.
DETROIT, August 5.-A small crowd
went to the Recreation Park yester-
day to witness the ball game between

and Boston was frequently hissed.
